Paris Saint-Germain's Adrien Rabiot is reported to be their top target but Thiago has been mentioned as an alternative and Rafinha believes his elder sibling would still fit seamlessly into the club's playing style.

"I would like to see Thiago at Barcelona again," Rafinha told a news conference ahead of Tuesday's International Champions Cup clash against Roma.

"I think he would fit in perfectly with the team's style of play."

Whether Rafinha would be around to enjoy a prospective reunion is a moot point after he spent the second half of last season on loan at Inter.
